List of destinations served by Manchester Airport Terminal 1

Also includes

List of destinations served by Manchester Airport Terminal 2 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
List of destinations served by Manchester Airport Terminal 3 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Per this deletion review this AFD and those for terminals 2 and 3 have been relisted after an improper close. Previous AFDs shown below. We will stick to one discussion for all 3 lists As this is an administrative nomination no opinion on the outcome is offered Spartaz ^Humbug! 18:10, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Delete back to the original article. The creation of these articles is the result of specific feedback concerning consideration of the parent article as a good article. This recommendation ignored the fact that including these lists in the parent article is the standard for airport articles as the standard style. Also this advice was to create a new article for each terminal. If this guidance was to become the norm, it would result in the creation of thousands of new articles, many of them never more then a stub. So the advice may in fact create a bigger problem that the one it is trying to solve. The airport project is looking at the issue of displaying this data in a format that that would not create thousands of articles and still reduce the visual impact on the article which appears to be the driving force behind the decision. Since a change like this affects thousands of articles, it is not one that will be made based on comments like these. The project would like to do this as reasonably as possible so that we do not need to keep changing the layout if it is implemented without having addressed all possible issues. That requires discussion and consensus. Vegaswikian 19:46, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as separate or delete, but do not merge back. Detail like this clutters up main articles. The Manchester Airport article is far more readable without it or collapsible tables etc. Regan123 19:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as worthless trivia, which was my initial argument. But, to amplify: WP:IINFO. The airport itself is notable; a general summary of its destinations (x cities in y countries mainly in z regions) is desirable (and by the way, that already is in the article), but this level of detail is not. We are not a travel manual, but an encyclopedia. General information on the airport is notable; the fact that Pegasus Airlines flies to Bodrum out of its second terminal, or that Flybe goes to Norwich out of its third, is simply not encyclopedic material. Plus, no references, so this could be all made up. Biruitorul 01:12, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
One way ticket to Deletion City. Way too much detail - Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Clarityfiend 02:59, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all - while the list of destinations may not be indiscriminate information, it is complete overkill and doesn't appear to have any encyclopaedic value whatsoever. I don't even think there is a sensible case for listing all destinations in a main airport article. - fchd 07:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Every commercial airport lists the airports' destinations. Do you know of a change of consensus on this? --Oakshade 16:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Delete as per Vegaswikian. MilborneOne 12:08, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Merge into List of destinations served by Manchester Airport along with the other terminal destination articles. Or merge back to the Manchester Airport article. Every commercial airport article lists the destinations and there's no reason to single the Manchester Airport article out to delete that content, especially that it's such a major and important airport. --Oakshade 16:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
